I'm a good hs runner who has the capability of running d1 in college. (I've already received contact). Sometimes i love it, sometimes i hate it. I know i'm not going pro, and i want to focus my life on other things- i would still love to run, but doing marathons and not actually competing to win, just enjoying it and not being yelled at by a coach. but at the same time i feel like i would be giving up my talent. thoughts?
If you enjoy it and know it's what you want to do in life, then go for it and see just how good you can be. If you don't absolutely love it then don't go for it. It's a long and hard process that many people will find too challenging and those people will quit. So, if you love it then go for it
Gotta hit us up with some times, brother if you want a good answer.
Run on your own in college (road races, etc.).
This thread is useless without pics.
We need to see your build to evaluate your potential in the 'thon.
Don't think that you'd be depriving the world of the "gift of you" if you decided not to compete.
It's your life. Spend your breaths wisely. Do what you enjoy. If you TRULY don't enjoy racing, then just run recreationally and make a comeback if you chose to.
Hating racing occasionally doesn't mean that you don't love the sport. Discomfort and lows are part of the game.
I don't know many people that regret doing sport in college... but I hear a lot of "could-have-beens" telling bar stories of regret.
Good luck!
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
